The Wolf Pack, a tight-knit community of mountain farmers, are the only thing keeping the family from starving to death. When the pack is threatened, the Strongs rally to protect them, even if it means taking on the coal mine boss or the sheriff. The Wolves Come Down from the Mountain is a gripping tale of family, community, and the resilience of the human spirit in the face of extreme poverty and hardship.; 8vo; 183 pages.
